Incompatibility games

Hi

Thank you for your reply.

That is a great suggestion since the game is very cheap.

But I live outside the USA and is not easy to buy things online there.

I have been meaning to try PayPal.

But I checked the link you gave me and there it says:

Game System Requirements:

• OS: Windows XP/Windows Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8
• CPU: 1.0 GHz
• RAM: 512 MB
• DirectX: 9.0
• Hard Drive: 379 MB

As you can see, no Windows 10.

But thank you again, for your time.

 

Not able to play games, keeps saying that it is incompatible and it doesn't load the game anymore.

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I understand that the Games are not playing in Windows. We will help you.

This issue might have caused due to the outdated drivers of the Graphics display card.

Let's try the below steps and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

I suggest you to update graphics drivers
and check if it helps.

• 
  Press Windows key + X and select
  Device Manager.
  
  
  
• 
  Search for Display Adapters and expand it.
  
• 
  Right click on the graphics driver
  and select Update driver software.
  

Refer:
How to update the graphics card drivers


If that doesn't help uninstall and reinstall latest graphic driver from manufacturer's website.

If the above steps do not work, then I suggest you to
contact the manufacturer of the game. They would assist you better with the issue.

Keep us informed if the issue is resolved. We are glad to help you further.

 

Incompatible: EA Game

Hi,

From the information provided, it looks like the issue could be due to the program being old which is why it is not being supported in Windows 10.

I would however suggest you to try installing the game in compatibility mode by following the steps below and check again:

1. Right-click on the setup file of the game and select "Properties".

2. Select "Compatibility" Tab.

3. Place a check mark next to "Run this program in Compatibility mode" and select Windows 8
from the drop down list.

4. Let the game install and then check the functionality.

Let us know the result.
